Comedian
Auggie Smith jokes about tornado warning systems,
public smoking bans, casino economies and other loopholes
in the American reality, all delivered in a manic
rant. You might call this his schtick. That is, if
you spoke Yiddish. Smith is currently living in the
Big Apple, but he honed his comedic chops while living
in Portland, being a regular standup at nightclubs
of varying degrees of cleanliness (read about his
hilarious encounter with Prozac the Alcoholic Bunny
at Dante's on his website, 
We
best remember Naughty By Nature (pictured)
for their Jackson Five-sampling hit "O.P.P." (which,
after all these years, we come to learn stands
for "Other People's Pussy." Oh so charming). The
three original gangstas who make up NBN —
DJ Kay Gee, Treach and Vin Rock — were separated
between 2000 and 2006 but were reunited after
what Wikipedia calls a "fist fight" broke out
between Kay Gee and Treach. Nothing like a little
cut and jab to prove your love for a brother.
Get down with O.P.P. at Taboo along with special
guests Mackdub and DZO. See Thursday, Sept. 13
Calendar.
Oh,
no! Many of this month's First Friday ARTWalk
venues fall within the Eugene Celebration footprint!
How will we get inside them if we don't want anything
to do with the EC but want all that free art,
wine and cheese? No problem. Special wristbands
for art walkers will be available at the Blue
Moon Jewelry Designs, Opus6ix and La Follette
galleries, allowing access to the downtown EC
zone until 8 pm. The first two stops along the
walk are conveniently located outside of the EC
zone. Art advocate Judy Allison will meet art
walkers at Blue Moon for a spiel on jewelry designer
Dennis Werst and his fusion necklace exhibition,
"Hammer and Fire." Next stop visits a group quilt
show by the Oregon Fiber Artists at Opus6ix before
everyone slips on a wristband and enters the Fenario
Gallery for giclée prints captured by cross-country
traveling photographer Brian Allison. The final
stop lands at the DIVA gallery, where five exhibits
are on show with notable work by Lillian Pitt
(pictured above) and Tenold Peterson (pictured
right). See Friday Calendar.
